THE LABOUR PROBLEM.
POSITION IN AUSTRALIA, BY CABLE—PRESS ASSOCIATION—COPYRIGHT. (Received Oct. 7, 11.25 a.m.) MELBOURNE, Oct. 7. In the House of Representatives Mr. Bruce, replying to a question, stated that # the Shipping Board had advised him that in view of the early completion of the steamer Ferndale at Cockatoo Dock, it would be compelled to dispense with the services of approximately 670 men. Mr. Bruce stated there must of necessity be fluctuations in the number of men employed in ship construction and repair work when the volume of work was a variable quantity. It was hoped it would be possible in the near future to absorb most of the employees now being discharged.
